Maybe I should write this under the 70's, but nobody ever writes back -over there, and I don't know why, cause great stuff happened in the 70's. I got episodes of Shazam yesterday. There were 10 on the tape I got, and we watched 4 so far. I remembered loving it as a kid, but not as much as Isis-of course, but I watched it again, with a whole different view. And, it was an excellent show, especially for young boys. My son sat there mezmerized by it, and each episode gave a super great moral lesson in it. The first one, the boy told a lie, and it just snowballed, and he was confronted by his friends, who didn't believe him, and they talked him in to doing something stupid to prove he wasn't lying, and he could have been severely injured. So, the moral of that was, when you tell 1 lie, you end up having to lie to get out of it, and then you have told 2..and so on and so on. So, don't lie. Then another one was about 2 brothers, and the one felt like his brother was his dad's favorite, and he could never live up to him, and the moral was, no matter how many children there are in a family, a parents love shows no rivalry, and they love each kid for who they are..It was great, and at the end Captain Marvel would come on, and say the whole moral, and I think kids don't have that at all anymore. I loved Brother Bear, that had some good messages in it. Last night, we rented Finding Nemo, and I think the colors are incredible in the movies, and it is kind of cool in that way ..but the story is really sad, especially the beginning-that shocked me-what a bummer..., and then the underlying way that Nemo treats his father, it is kind of wrong-he doesn't listen to him, and that gets him caught, and his dad almost dead, and he acts like all his Dad has done for him-he doesn't appreciate it- And, I haven't seen the end yet, but everyone has loved this movie and hyped it up there, and I wasn't getting such a great feeling about it, and wondered if anyone else knew what I meant??

I am replying to the 2nd part of my own post..we finished watching the end of Finding Nemo just now, and even after watching the end, that movie was not unplifting in the slightest to me. I am glad at the end he loved his Dad, but he should have loved him anyway, without having to have gone through all of that stuff, they only had each other. I thought making Dory have that short term memory loss, was not funny at all, it was actually quite sad and depressing. I don't know-maybe I read too much in to stuff, but that is what I took out of this movie. Visually it was awesome, and I loved the artisty, but the story line was kind of bizarre, and even the scene with the sharks, who are trying to lay off eating the fish, and do 12 step program-or whatever, that was kind of creepy, and all those fish caught in the net at the end, to keep from being killed-ick,..I don't know about that movie. there were some funny parts..I admit it wasn't all bad, and I overall would watch it again-if I had to, but I didn't like the feel of it.
